PASTE POT OR JAR.

SPECIFTCATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 67 5,971, dated June11, 1901. Application led January 7, 1901. Serial No. 42,384. (Nomodel.)

To all whont it 71mg/ con/ecrit:

le it known that I, FREEBORN F. RAYMOND, 2d, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Newton, in the county of Middlesex and State ofMassachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Paste Potsor Jars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,reference being had to the acco'mpanying drawings, forming a part ofthis 1o specification, in explaining its nature.

The invention is an improvement upon that described in my applicationfor Letters Patent of the United States executed of even date herewith,(Case A;) and it relates to a paste pot or jar made in two parts orsections, one of which holds paste and the other of which holds water,and both of which when combined form a water -holding chamber which mayenvelop the paste-holder, and

2o which provides the paste-holder with moisture of evaporation and alsoprovides a receptacle for holding and moistening the paste-brush.

I will now describe the invention in connection with the drawings,wherein- Figure l is a view in vertical section of the paste pot or jar.Fig. 2 is a View in vertical section of an independent paste-holder,forming a part of the jar ot Fig. l. Figs. 3 and 4 are views in verticalsection and horizontal 3o section, respectively, of a modified form ofthe invention, representing the paste-chamber as at one side of the jarinstead of at the center. Figs. 5 and 6 are also views in vertical andhorizontal section, representing another modification in which thebrush-holder is provided by an extension of the wall of the jar. Fig. 7illustrates a further modification in which the means for displacing thewater of the cvaporating-chamber and of the brush-chamber at will areshown. Fig. 8 shows the jar with an imperforate domeshaped top forentirely inclosing the brush. Referring to the drawings, A representsthe jar or pot, and A the paste-holding section or part of the pot. Thelatter preferably is in the form of a cylindrical vessel made of glassor other suitable material and having a chamber a to contain the pasteand which chamber is open at its top and closed 5o at its bottom. Thisvessel is adapted to be closed by a cover Ct, which is attachable to itin any desired way. The jar A may also have in it provision for theestablishment of a brush water-chamber B or a portion thereof. One wayof providing this brush Waterchamber is represented in Figs. 1 and 2,where the vessel A has preferably integral with it a cylindrical wall l)Within the chamber a, which is open throughout and has no bottom. InFigs. 3 and 4 the brush water-chamber B 6o is shown as obtained by meansof an inwardextending portion b of the outer wall of the paste-holder Aand a portion c of the wall of the pot. Still another way of obtainingthe brush water-chamber is represented in Figs. 5 and o', where it isshown as most largely obtained by an outward extension of the Wall c ofthe pot A, the inner Wall of the brush water-chamber being provided by aportion of the wall of the paste-holder A. 7o

The section A of the jarorpot maybe made ofglass, porcelain,earthenware, metal, wood, or any other suitable or desirable material.

It has a chamber c2 of a size to receive and inclose upon its bottom andsides the pasteholding section A. It preferably is enough larger thanthe paste-holding section to provide a Water-holding chamber D about itand beneath it, if desired, and which is a continuation 'of the brushwater-chamber B. It pref- 8o erably has extending upward from its bottomthe rests c3, upon which the paste-holding section A is supported inorder that the water-holding capacity of' the water-chamber may beincreased, and this construction is especially desirable when thepaste-holding section A has the `brush water-chamber B, formedcentrally, as represented in Figs. 1 and 2. The jar or holder A may havemeans for holding the paste-holding part A away from 9o the wall of theouter section A, and thus provide a water-holding chamber entirelyaround it.

In use the chamber of the section A is partly filled with water. Thepaste-holding section A is placed in it, and this causes the water torise in the brush Water-chamber B and in the water-chamber D to or verynearly to the top of the section. The outer section may also have acover c5, adapted to cover loo the paste-holder, brush water-holder, andits extensions, and this holder may be attached thereto in any desiredway-for example, by a screw-thread or by some form of bayonetjoint.\Vhere the structure shown in Figs. 3 and 4. is used, in which theposition of the brush limits the movement of the cover in eitherdirection, a section of a quick screwthread or a bayonet-joint is aconvenient means for this purpose. In the cover is a hole d, throughwhich the handle d of the paste-brush D' extends when the cover is usedfor closing the pot.

A brush water-chamber which serves also as an evaporating water-chambermay be alone employed. I prefer the construction which provides thebrush water-chamber with lateral extensions for forming an additionalevaporaiing water-chamber adjacent to the paste-holder.

It will be understood that the paste-hold ing section A and its coverforni a commercial article of sale which may be marketed independentlyof the outer section A, if desired. It will also be understood that thetwo sections A and A cooperate to make the complete brush water-chamberand that the placing of the paste-holder in the partiallywater-filledchamber of the outer section A causes by displacement the level of thewater to be lifted in the chamber and the brush water-chamber.

\Vhile I have referred to the invention as a paste-holding jar or pot, Iwould not be understood as limiting it to its use as a holder of andusing device for paste alone, for it may be employed in holding andsupplying any other composition which requires to be marketed, held andtreated in the manner herein indicated.

In Fig. 7 I have shown a construction of paste pot or jar which has ameans for vary ing at will the level of the water in theevaporating-chamber or in the brush-chamber, or both, and I have usedfor accomplishing this purpose the paste-holder, although I do not limitmyself to its use for obtainingr the desired result.

In the drawings the pasteeholder of the type of Figs. l and 2 isillustrated, having instead of the cylindrical wall l), open at bothends, a similar wall which has a screw-thread g. This threaded sectionof the paste-holder screws upon a hollow post g, integral with or fixedto the bottom of the pot and which has its cavity g2 connected with thechamber I by one or more inlets g3 at or near its bottom. Thepaste-holder screws on this hollow threaded post in the chamber ll andis lifted or depressed in the chamber as it is screwed and is held by itin any position to which it may be moved. If, for instance, the chamberB is provided with water and the paste-holder is mounted upon the upperend of the post and screwed downward into the chamber, it will cause thewater to be displaced and to rise in the cavity of the hollow post andalso in the evaporation-chamber ll about the paste-holder. The chamberof the hollow post then serves as the brush waterchambcr, being open atits top, and as the water is used or becomes evaporated its level may berecstablished or maintained by the displacement at will caused by thedownward movement of the paste-holder in the waterchamber. Of course theholder may be firmly held to the paste-pot or to the wall of thepastepot with suiiicient stress to remain in the position to which it ismoved for the purpose of displacing the water.

Vhile I have illustrated the employment of a holder for feeding theevaporating-chamber and the brush-chamber by water displacement at will,I do not coniinc myseli,of course, to obtaining such displacement by useof the holder.

In Fig. 8 the cover c" is represented as imperforate and provided with adome to cover the handle of the brush.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United Statesl. A paste pot or jar in twoindependent sections, one contained within the other, the inner sectionbeing adapted to hold paste or the like, and the two sections beingshaped with respect to each other substantially as shown anddeseribed,whereby there is formed between them a water-evaporatingchamber and a brush-holding chamber, all as and for the purposes setforth.

2. A paste pot or jar in two independent sections, one contained withinthe other, the inner section being adapted to hold paste or the like,the two sections being shaped substantially as shown and described,whereby there is formed between them a brush-holding chamber and awater-feeding chamber, said jar having a suitable cover adapted to formwith the wall of said inner section a passage whereby moisture from thechamber about said inner section will reach the paste in said innersection,as and for the purposes set forth.

3. A paste pot or jar in two sections, one of which holds paste and islocated within the other section, its outer wall being adapted to formwith the inner wall of said outer section a. water-chamber, abrush-chamber also formed by the outer wall of said paste-chamber andthe inner wall of said water-chamber adapted to be fed with water fromsaid water-chamber, as and for the purposes described.

i. The paste pot or jar above described, provided with a paste sectionand a watersection, said paste-section being located within saidwater-section and shaped as shown to form a brush water-chamber adaptedto receive water from said water chamber, said water-chamber alsoserving to provide a water-evaporating surface for said paste-chamber,as described.
